So much for accurate predictions. There is more hate, separation and fear than ever.

By and large Lutherans don't really "do" eschatology, astrology, etc. That is not to say that we don't look forward to the coming of Christ, but our general worldview is to make the best of this life, not focus on a nebulous time in the future or try and predict the second coming. Christ will come when the time is set, we don't need to waste our time with counting the days or trying to divine out of Revelation and Daniel of exactly when that will be.
Trust in Christ for your salvation and live the best life you can now - be the light of Christ in the world here and now.

Stay far away from that stuff.
It is not of God.
I recommend Fr. Seraphim Rose: Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future.
Also there are good apologetics books on the LCMS and WELs WEbsites I believe I would read up on those.

It's indicated in the Bible. Satan can read.

Doubtful. Maybe guessed it, but "knowing" it would happen - I really doubt it. If that were true, then she was complicit in his death for not stopping it.
Anyway, stuff like this deserves some time spent with Dr. Matrix.

I like him a lot.
To the OP though, the reality is that there is really no reason for us to bother with these matters to any great extent. I mean, really, why does it matter if Christ is to return next month or next millennium? Would you live your life differently? If so, how? This is probably a better question to ponder than trying to divine dates or future events.

Trust the LORD and not on your own understanding
What you heard on the radio comes from Millennialism theology, the attempt to predict the Second coming of Jesus or other related events described in Scripture.
Historically:
Historically:
- The Augsburg Confession the 17th article alludes to the origin of this error
- Luther held the position that Millennialism is a heresy (sermon preached in 1539)
- John Calvin wrote that the doctrine of the millenarians is a "fiction too puerile to require or deserve refutation"
"Such predictions are the result of the crass literal reading of the OT\NT of Jesus' return...
Millennialism is to outright deny the church's hope of Christ's only return to judgement
and those who " transport it into the stratosphere of their own esoteric speculations"
belonging to the scoffers who, Peter warned, would come, "scoffing and following their own evil desires" (2 Peter 3:3)
